#1 Rod Bearing

Lubrication as read out of Ford Shop Manual

From the filter, the oil flows into the main oil gallery which is located to the right side of the camshaft. The oil gallery supplies oil to each individual main bearing, through drilled passages in the block. Passages are drilled from each main bearing to each camshaft bearing. Number 1 main bearing feeds No. 1 camshaft bearing, and No. 2 main bearing feeds No. 2 camshaft bearing, etc. The oil then flows through notches or grooves in the main bearings to lubricate the crankshaft journals. The timing chain and sprockets are lubricated by oil forced through a drilled passage leading to the oil pump intermediate shaft. Oil flows from the passage through a groove cut into the thrust plate and passes around the camshaft. It then flows through two grooves cut into the socket and is deflected onto the timing chain.

The crankshaft is drilled from the main bearings to the connecting rod bearings.

Oil passage are drilled from the main oil gallery to each valve lifter oil gallery.

The rest talks about the oil going up the valve train
